Suspend or limit burning of any items or property with the City limits and up to two (2) miles outside the corporate limits.

 

You can't give yourself authority over things not in your jurisdiction.. but they're gonna do it anyway...

Geez, if they want to start a panic:

 

(6) Order the discontinuance of selling, distributing, dispensing or giving away of explosives or explosive agents, firearms or ammunition of any character whatsoever;

(7) Order the control, restriction and regulation within the City by rationing, issuing quotas, fixing or freezing prices, allocating the use, sale or distribution of food, fuel, clothing and other commodities, materials, goods or services or the necessities of life;

 

(8) (a) Order City employees or agents, on behalf of the City, to take possession of any real or personal property of any person, or to acquire full title or such lesser interest as may be necessary to deal with a disaster or emergency, and to take possession of and for a limited time, occupy and use any real estate to accomplish alleviation of the disaster, or the effects thereof; In the event any real or personal property is utilized by the City, the City shall be liable to the owner thereof for the reasonable value of the use or for just compensation as the case may be.

 

(17) Control, restrict, allocate, or regulate the use, sale, production, or distribution of food, water, fuel, clothing, and/or other commodities, materials, goods, services and resources.

Just a few more...

 

(13) Prohibit the sale or distribution within the City of any products which could be
employed in a manner which would constitute a danger to public safety.

 

Riiiight.... I'm sure those determinations will be made with strict oversight.

 

(16) Suspend or limit the use of the water resources or other infrastructure.

 

You want water? Nope..you cant have water...

(17) Control, restrict, allocate, or regulate the use, sale, production, or distribution of
food, water, fuel, clothing, and/or other commodities, materials, goods, services and
resources.

 

GFY!!!

<hat in hand>

"Please mayor sir...may I have another..."

 

 

(26) Require the continuation, termination, disconnection, or suspension of natural gas,
electrical power, water, sewer, communication or other public utilities or infrastructure.

 

Oh..you have the sniffles...not doing what we say? Well...we'll just cut off 'EVERYTHING'

 

 

(29) Exercise such powers and functions in light of the exigencies of emergency or
disaster including the waiving of compliance with any time consuming procedures and
formalities, including notices, as may be prescribed by law.
(30) Issue any and all such other orders or undertake such other functions and activities as
the Mayor reasonably believes is required to protect the health, safety, and welfare of
persons or property within the City or otherwise preserve the public peace or abate, clean up,
or mitigate the effects of any emergency or disaster.

 

All hail the mayor...all hail the mayor....

WAND 17 is facebook live at the meeting

I don't and won't do Facebook, but if anyone would like to keep us updated that would be nice.

 

I'm unable to watch, have to sneak to the door to get a signal just to post.

 

I can't see how something like this can pass, but I wonder just how many meetings like this are set to take place or currently are across the nation.

 

Certainly our left leaning members cannot be in favor of something this draconian.

The sheer level of poopshow this is going to cause will bite these fools in the butt. The local Marxist profs might be all happy finally be living the communist dream they've waited for but the poor oiks that serve the town's basic needs are not going to be happy. This will be a textbook illustration of unintended consequences. And when in a few onths they are not bulldozing bodies into mass graves...

Section 13. Duration. This ordinance shall be effective for 28 days from the date of passage. The ordinance shall continue for 28-day periods thereafter unless repealed or amended by the City Council.

 

So, no end date.

The ordinance does not enact any of these, it grants the mayor the authority to do so if she believes it necessary . . .

 

<Mayor walks outside...Looks up to the sky...Takes a deep breath...and smiles>

You! Hot dog vendor across the street. STOP SELLING FOOD!!

Charlie...go block off the entrance the gas stations and shut down the pumps.

John... chain the doors on all the guns shops.

Bob and Neal...well..you go close 'those' bars..

Scott..its a bit too bright...shut down all the street lights.

Ryan... Go grab the keys to Marriot down the street. We can stay there tonight.

Mark....See that guy across the street with the Trump hat and shirt? That falls under "clothing, and/or other commodities" in the wonderful ordinance we just passed right? Get over there and 'Control, restrict, and regulate' his attire please....

 

 

 

Ahhh..its "Good To believe its necessary"...

If the Mayor proclaimed such power, then the removal of such "officials" by what ever means necessary would not violate the law, as the constitution and rule of law are suspended by such "official". Removal of such "officials" would restore the constitution and rule of law.

 

Kind of harkens the old tree of liberty adage.
